The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Under the snow, I've brought the person to you."

Upon arriving at the classroom door marked "Service Club," Hiratsuka Shizuka pushed open the door and pulled Hikigaya Hachiman inside.

Hearing the noise from the door, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting by the window reading a book, sighed, closed the book, and looked up at Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Shizuka-sensei, shouldn't I have reminded you to knock before coming in?"

"I did knock."

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked on the door that Yukino Yukinoshita had already opened, right in front of her.

Yukinoshita Yukino:..........

"Alright, now that I've brought the person here, I won't bother you any longer."

With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka pushed Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing behind her, forward, then closed the door and left.

Hachiman Hikigaya staggered forward a few steps and suddenly noticed a pair of long, slender legs wearing black stockings in his field of vision.

"Where are you looking?"

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could even take a few more glances, Yukino Yukinoshita's icy words reached his ears.

Looking up, Hachiman Hikigaya found Yukino Yukinoshita looking at him with the kind of disdain one might give a scumbag.

"nothing..."

Hachiman Hikigaya initially wanted to explain to the other person that he hadn't intentionally gotten so close, but then he realized that even if he did explain, Yukino Yukinoshita might not believe him.

Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya simply shrugged, turned around, walked to the back of the classroom, moved out a stool, and sat down away from Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned as she watched Hachiman Hikigaya finish all of this.

Actually, when she finished speaking, she had a vague feeling that she might have misunderstood Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't refute her, and she wasn't sure if she had misunderstood him...

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had sat down away from her and was no longer moving, she immediately turned her attention to the book in her hands.

Yukino Yukinoshita was engrossed in the world of the book, while Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been sitting for a while, felt extremely bored.

To pass the time, he looked around the classroom.

The first person he looked at was naturally Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting by the window.

Just then, the girl was basking in the golden sunlight.

Her snow-white skin appeared even more delicate and fair under the light. Her long, jet-black hair swayed gently with the slight turning of the pages.

Perhaps because her hair was obstructing her vision, the girl frowned slightly, then raised her slender hand and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Hachiman Hikigaya was somewhat stunned.

This is completely unfair! Besides Komachi, why would there be a woman in the world who fits his aesthetic perfectly?

"Excuse me, is anyone here?"

There was a sudden knock on the classroom door, followed by a somewhat timid female voice.

"Please come in!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head. She glanced curiously at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was sitting upright, and then called out towards the door.

"Snapped....."

As the classroom door opened, a girl with long, beautiful black hair, just like Yukinoshita, walked in.

As soon as the girl entered the classroom, she saw Hachiman Hikigaya next to her and immediately showed a strange expression on her face.

"He was assigned to the Service Club by Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka."

When Yukino saw the girl looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, she assumed she was confused about Hachiman's identity, so she took the initiative to explain.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's words, the girl nodded, but her gaze toward Hachiman Hikigaya remained strange.

Seeing this, Hachiman Hikigaya took the initiative to explain himself: "I am Hachiman Hikigaya from Class F, Year 2. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Miko Yotsuya from Class 2-E. Nice to meet you."

After introducing themselves to each other, Hachiman Hikigaya and Miko Yotsuya nodded and continued to sit on the stool in a daze.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya soon discovered that Miko Yotsuya often secretly observed him while talking to Yukino Yukinoshita.

He was very self-aware of his appearance and immediately looked down to check his clothes.

Finding nothing amiss, and seeing that Yotsuya Miko was still staring at him, Hikigaya Hachiman frowned, gathered his spiritual energy in his right hand, and patted the demon attached to his clothes.

The demon that was wrapped around Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly burst out of his clothes.

"!"

When she saw the evil spirit rushing towards her, Yotsuya Miko's pupils shrank instantly. Although she was terrified by the sudden appearance of the evil spirit, she kept a straight face and did not scream.

It's clear we can't stay here any longer...

Thinking about it, Yotsuya immediately got up and prepared to escape from the classroom.

"Yotsuya-kun, what's wrong?"

Unable to see the evil spirit, Yukino Yukinoshita looked on with a puzzled expression as she watched Miko Yotsuya enter and prepare to leave.

"No, it's nothing..."

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's words, Miko Yotsuya realized that she had just come in and it would be too abrupt to leave immediately.

In addition, evil spirits do not harm people during the day.

So she chuckled awkwardly, picked up the chair she had bumped when she stood up, and sat down again in front of Yukino Yukinoshita.

But at that moment, Hachiman Hikigaya, who hadn't said a word except for his self-introduction, suddenly spoke up.

"You saw it, didn't you?"

The two locked eyes, and Hachiman Hikigaya clearly saw the surprise that flashed in Miko Yotsuya's eyes, followed by a look of delight!

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of..."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Miko Yotsuya's eyes flickered a few times. She said something apologetically to Yukino Yukinoshita before grabbing her schoolbag and running out of the activity room.

"Hey, wait..."

Miko Yotsuya's sudden departure caught Yukino Yukinoshita off guard.

She had already prepared herself to listen to Yotsuya Miko's troubles and help her find a solution...

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out her hand towards Miko Yotsuya's retreating figure, but Miko Yotsuya ran out of the classroom without turning her head.

"Well then, I should go too..."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the classroom, Hachiman Hikigaya stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and walked outside as well.

As he reached the door, almost as if possessed, Hachiman Hikigaya turned back for a glance.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, Yukino Yukinoshita's lonely face came into his view, and Hachiman Hikigaya felt his heart beat faster involuntarily.

What a pushover...

He chuckled to himself, a wry smile appearing on his face. He turned and called out to Yukino Yukinoshita:

"tomorrow....."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at Hachiman Hikigaya with a puzzled expression.

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon too. I'm determined to win the match we agreed on yesterday!"

After saying that, Hachiman Hikigaya closed the classroom door.

"Oh? Hachiman is quite confident, but I won't lose to you!"

Although Hachiman Hikigaya had already closed the door, Yukino Yukinoshita continued to speak to him through the door.

What she didn't notice was that a faint smile had appeared on her perpetually cold face.

Chapter 3 Little Devil Isshiki Yu

After saying those words to Yukino Yukinoshita as if possessed, Hachiman Hikigaya, overwhelmed with shame, carried his schoolbag and walked towards the school gate.

At the first corner of the corridor, he unsurprisingly ran into Yotsuya Miko, who was waiting for him there.

"You can see it after all."

When Hachiman Hikigaya saw Miko Yotsuya waiting for him, a smile flashed in his eyes.

This is really great!

He had originally thought that he was the only one in the world who could see those things, but after Yotsuya Miko appeared, he suddenly felt less lonely.

"Aren't you afraid of it?"

Compared to Hachiman Hikigaya's ease, Miko Yotsuya tried her best to restrain herself, but Hachiman Hikigaya could still sense her tension from her subtle movements.

"You mean it?"

Hikigaya Hachiman pointed to the evil spirit possessing him and asked Yotsuya Miko.

"That's right! Since you can see it, you should know very well what will happen tonight, right?"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya dared to reach out and tease the evil spirit, Miko Yotsuya thought the man in front of her had gone mad.

Hasn't he figured out the situation yet?

He's now possessed by an evil spirit!

Once the sun has completely set, the evil spirit will tear off its harmless mask and reveal its fangs in the darkness, tearing him to shreds!

"Of course I know what will happen tonight."

It's just that the number of spirit coins will increase by fifty, not five hundred. Why is he so worried that the evil spirit will run away?

"Then you still..."

Yotsuya Miko was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

From the moment she first saw Hachiman Hikigaya, the man before her showed no fear of evil spirits.
